    What name are you entering when you receive this message?

    ramu.a (3/6/2012)

    This is self descriptive, the network name you are supplying already exists. Have your admins check DNS and AD, the name may already be in use by another host.

  • Hi - Can you tell how you fixed your issue. I am encountering the same issue while installing SQL 2014 cluster. I never had this issue in past, I have setup SQL 2008 and 2012 cluster in past using both machine and other name as the SQL server network name. Thanks.
